It seems as if output is not well synchronized. For console style programs, the echo from the input field often appears many lines after it should, sometimes in the middle of a line of output from a System.out.println. Possibly significant: I have never seen this bug at home, only at the lab at school which is running dual core processors, where it is a fairly common and unpredictable occurance. One run of a program will go fine, the next will echo input 3 lines later than it should appear.
would it be possible for you run the standard project instead of the bluej one and report if the behaviour is the same? the output of default j2se project is handled by ant itself, in the bluej project type, I do some hacks to make the project's output appear in the sseparate output tab. That would help me locate the area where the code is wrong a bit. thanks.
ascholer: "Running a standard project does appear to work fine. Let me know if you have anything else you want me to try."
should be fixed in the 5.5.1 version. the problem was 2 threads each writing single characters to the output window. now the writing is cached by lines with a small timeout trigger for prints of non-complete lines (eg. System.out.print("Enter name:"); )
